Vocal Systems: Singing with Devices (Audio)

Aug 04, 2025

This month we listen to singing that links the voice and body to technology. There is also an improvised performance in which the presenter sings along with the EM fields generated by the devices on his desk.

"Vocal Systems" explores different types of voice and is part of ongoing research by artist Dave Evans. The show investigates the (human) voice as the individual expression of a connected system and asks if the sounds generated by other assemblages and systems could be considered as voice too. To extend this idea into practice, other non-human forms and systems will co-host the show, speak, and sing. Dave is based in Liverpool, UK, and his work explores how complex networks appear to us and how we can represent them for ourselves.
